ABSTRACT
Lebor Gabála (LG) has best been preserved in four medieval redactions. ' Three of these, the Second Redaction (R2), Miniugad ('Interpretation'),2 and the Third Redaction (R3), are represented in the Book of Lecan (Lee).3 This manuscript was compiled in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries by the historian to the í Fhiachrach, Giolla fosa Mac Fhir Bhisigh, and three assistant scribes, namely, Giolla íosa's own pupil, Murchadh Riabhach Ó Cuinnlis, Ádhamh Ó Cuirnín, who wrote the text of R2 (together with Miniugad), and an unnamed scribe (who doubtless was Giolla íosa's son, Tomás Cam).4
